Dwi Holdings Inc is a wholly owned subsidiary of Himatsingka Seide Ltd, which is a vertically integrated home textile major with a global footprint.

The Group focuses on the manufacture, retail and distribution of home textile products and it operates amongst the largest capacities in the world for upholstery fabrics, drapery fabrics and bed linen.

Spread across Asia, Europe and North America, its retail and wholesale distribution divisions carry some of the most prestigious brands in the home textile space and caters to private label programs of major retailers.

In 1993, Kate Spade designed the utilitarian bag she had been craving for years but couldn't find anywhere and so began a revolution in the accessories market.

Simple silhouettes with clever details and crisp palettes soon established a visual shorthand for the brand that's recognizable the world over.

In 2007, Kate Spade turned the reins over to the design powerhouse, Liz Claiborne Inc. which then became Fifth & Pacific Companies Inc, and now operates under Kate Spade & Company.

Deborah Lloyd, formerly of Banana Republic and Burberry took the helm as chief creative officer with an aim to broadening the line while honoring Kate's rich history. (AR)
